Web Design & Development
Built and maintained by the same team that runs your IT.
Mako Studio — our in-house web design and development team — designs, builds, and maintains client websites. Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, Cloudflare. AI-native where it helps, simple where it doesn't. Your MSP already knows your brand, your data, and your compliance posture — let us own the website too.
Mako Studio
Our in-house web design & development team.
Same engineers, same security posture, same accountability as the rest of Mako Logics — just focused on the website. Recent builds, client work, and stack details live on the studio site.
Who this is for
Mako Logics clients who'd rather have one team own the IT and the website than juggle an agency, a freelancer, and a hosting bill. Also a fit for Houston-metro businesses that want a modern, AI-ready site built on the same infrastructure and security posture we already run for our MSP clients.

The details
What each piece actually looks like.
Custom Website Design & Development
New site, built right, on a stack that won't be obsolete in three years.
Modern, fast, secure websites built on Next.js + Tailwind + Vercel — the same stack we use for makologics.com, makoai.studio, and the Mako Logics client portfolio. Brand-led design, real content strategy, accessibility baked in, mobile-first. No page builders, no template bloat, no unmaintainable WordPress plugin stack.
Website Redesign & Migration
Get off WordPress / Wix / Squarespace without losing your SEO, content, or history.
Moving a live website is where most projects quietly fall apart. Redirects get forgotten, rankings drop, forms stop sending, and half the old content disappears. We've done this enough times to have a playbook: full content audit, redirect map, schema preservation, and a staged cutover that keeps your search traffic intact.
Website Hosting, Maintenance & Security
The website gets the same operational care as the rest of your IT.
Most small-business sites get built once and then slowly rot — plugins go unpatched, forms start failing silently, SSL certs expire, the hosting bill quietly doubles. We host on Vercel + Cloudflare, patch everything, monitor uptime and Core Web Vitals, and handle the security surface the same way we handle the rest of your stack: as if an active adversary is watching (because they are).
AI-Native Websites
Built for the era where the first visitor to your site is a language model.
Search is changing. Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT browsing, Perplexity, and agentic buyers all read websites differently than humans do — and most sites are invisible to them. We design sites that work for both audiences: fast, accessible, semantically structured, with real JSON-LD, llms.txt, and optional on-site AI (search, chat, recommendations) that actually helps instead of making noise.

How switching works
Four steps. No disruption.
The #1 reason businesses stay with a bad MSP is the fear of switching. Here’s how we make that fear unfounded.
01
Discovery
We learn your environment, your people, and your real pain points. No sales-team script — actual technical conversation.
02
Plan
We audit and deliver a written plan — what stays, what gets replaced, what gets hardened, what the monthly number looks like. No surprises.
03
Transition
We take over day-to-day without disrupting your work. Your current provider's runbook, your access, your vendor relationships — we document every piece before anything changes hands.
04
Running
Proactive support, 24/7 monitoring, quarterly strategy reviews. Your people call, a real person answers. Typically 2–4 weeks from signed agreement to fully operational.
Typical timeline from signed agreement to fully operational: 2–4 weeks. We document everything so if you ever leave, the next provider picks up without starting over.
FAQ
Web Design & Development — common questions.
Is this the same team as Mako Logics?+
Yes. Mako Studio is our in-house web design and development team — not an outsourced agency, not a white-label arrangement. Mako Logics LLC is the legal entity; Mako Studio is the practice. The engineers who know your IT stack can be the same ones who build your website.
Where can we see your portfolio?+
makoai.studio — that's our studio site. You'll see recent builds including Davis Investigation Services, Bulldog Security, Pro-Surve Technical Services, AIPromptsHive, and others. Most are also Mako Logics MSP clients.
Do we have to be an MSP client to hire Mako Studio?+
No. We take web-only engagements too. That said, bundling web with managed IT gets you one invoice, one team, and better pricing — and most of our web clients end up consolidating the MSP side with us within a year anyway.
Can you work with our existing brand / designer / marketing team?+
Yes. We collaborate with in-house marketing and existing brand designers regularly. You bring the brand; we bring the engineering, SEO, and ongoing operational care.
What stacks do you build on?+
Default: Next.js + Tailwind + Vercel + Cloudflare. For content-heavy sites we add Payload CMS (headless, self-hosted) or WordPress if that genuinely fits. We avoid page builders (Elementor, Divi), proprietary walled gardens, and anything that creates long-term lock-in.
What doesn't Mako Studio do?+
We don't do pure graphic design / brand identity work — if you need a new logo and full visual identity from scratch, we'll recommend a specialist and collaborate with them. We also don't do social-media management or paid-ads campaigns as standalone services.
